Ljubljana, 23 January - The chief executives of the top three banks in Slovenia were questioned on Thursday by a parliamentary inquiry looking into the reasons for the bank system woes. They reiterated that external reasons were largely to blame for the boom-and-bust, though they acknowledged misconduct played a part as well.
